Tretheway Road <br /> Lockeford, CA 95237 �✓�:!'�c•�'�- <br /> REQUEST FOR REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE, MOKELUMNE RIM VINEYARDS, SAN <br /> JOA QVIN COUNTY, ACAMPO, SAN JOA QUIN COUNTY <br /> I have reviewed the 20 November 2000 Application Referral No. UP-00-12, distributed by the San <br /> Joaquin County Community Development Department. The application describes construction of a wine <br /> processing and tasting facility in Acampo. The Board previously commented on the application in a <br /> 2 August 2000 correspondence to Ms. Tina Wehrmeister, copied to R&G Shatz Farm. <br /> Winery wastewater contains chemicals that can degrade surface and groundwater quality if not properly <br /> handled and disposed of. Therefore, Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) must be adopted by the <br /> Regional Board before the wastewater can be discharged. To obtain WDRs, you must first submit a <br /> Report of Waste Discharge (RWD). <br /> Consistent with California Water Code Section 13260, you are required to submit an RWD at least 120 <br /> days prior to discharging wastewater. Adoption of the WDRs can take longer than 120 days depending on <br /> the completeness of the RWD. You are encouraged to submit the RWD as soon as possible so that <br /> adoption of the WDRs does not delay your ability to operate during the crush season. Discharging <br /> wastewater without first securing WDRs is a violation of the California Water Code and exposes the <br /> discharger to enforcement actions, including fines. <br /> This letter constitutes a formal request for a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) for the Mokelumne Rim <br /> Vineyards facility. An RWD consists of the Form 200 Application/Report of Waste Discharge General <br /> Information (enclosed), a filing fee, and the answers to the Additional Questions. The RWD shall be <br /> prepared in a unified report by a California Registered Engineer. The RWD, at a minimum, shall address <br /> the Additional Questions; it shall also include any additional information required to explain the site <br /> specific processes. <br /> The filing fee is based on the threat and complexity of the discharge, as described in the enclosed filing <br /> fee schedule. We have determined that this discharge is categorized as 2C, with a$900 annual fee. <br /> Therefore, the RWD is to include a$900 check, made payable to the State Water Resources Control <br /> Board. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> l� Recycled Paper <br />
